What should our graduates be able to do when they finish our program?
Answer is important for Bologna Process ‘ECTS is a student-centered system based
on …objectives of a program...in terms of learning outcomes and competencies to be acquired.’

Useful as faculty continue to improve courses and overall degree program

Several types of expectations
What subject areas should our graduates master? For example, chemistry, calculus, language studies
At what level do we want them to understand? For example, do they only need to be able to balance
chemical equations or should they be able to develop plans for synthesizing compounds? (Bloom’s taxonomy)

Focus first on the subject matter content
When student graduates from veterinary medicine & animal husbandry (or other programs), what subject areas should they know?Foundation concepts such as biology,
chemistrySpecific concepts to program, such as
nutrition, reproduction, meat science, etc.

Then determine level of understanding needed
Do students need to be able to list the diseases common to plants or animals?
Do they need to be able to identify these diseases?
Do they need to be able to prevent and/or treat these diseases?
Each requires different level of understanding Important that we and students know which
level is desired

Who decides these things?
In our university, it is the faculty in the department
We meet together and determine what we want our students to know
We obtain feedback from othersGraduates of our programPeople who hire our graduatesOthers in the industryOther colleagues at different universities

Food science
Our food science and technology program has a set of learning outcomes based on their interaction with these groups
Also based on a national certification program This allows excellent communication among
programs Graduates from any of the accredited
programs should have the same basic set of competencies
